Chapter 609 Stupid

Zhuang Qisheng heard this and hurried to Zhuang Qinglan's yard. Seeing the mess on the floor of the house, he frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Dad." Zhuang Qinglan burst into tears when she saw Zhuang Qisheng, sobbing and gasping for breath.

Because of crying and impatience, patches of red appeared on his forehead and his hands were shaking uncontrollably.

Zhuang Qinglan has been like this since she was a child. She is fine on weekdays, but if she gets anxious, her head and face will turn red like now, and her hands and feet will tremble. If she gets even more anxious, she will fall straight down, and she needs to be coaxed for a long time until the anger subsides.

Zhuang Qisheng felt sorry for his daughter and tried to persuade her softly, "My dear daughter, calm down first and tell your father what you want to say."

After saying that, he hurriedly helped Zhuang Qinglan sit down on the stool, and asked the maid to bring her a cup of warm water, and slowly put it to her mouth for her to drink.

Zhuang Qinglan drank a few sips of warm water, and her emotions finally calmed down a little. She went from crying loudly to sobbing softly, and she could speak normally.

"What's the use of telling Dad? He can't help me with anything." Zhuang Qinglan said angrily.

"What you're saying is that my father is the prefect. Is there anything he can't do?" Zhuang Qisheng was a little dissatisfied with what Zhuang Qinglan said.

"Prefect? ​​I'm afraid he's nothing in the eyes of others!"

Zhuang Qinglan wiped away her tears and said, "I couldn't even get into the women's college I wanted to study in, and I was laughed at by others. It was a complete loss of face!"

"Now it's happening again. Zhuang Qingning is obviously just a peasant. Dad made a promise before, saying that he could help me get the credit, but in the end, he got nothing. I can only watch others get the title of county lady, while I have nothing!"

"I just don't understand. After catching that peasant, we could beat him or kill him as we pleased, but Dad just didn't dare to do it. He wasted such a good opportunity!"

After being scolded by Zhuang Qinglan, Zhuang Qisheng suddenly became angry and annoyed.

Regarding the matter of the girls' academy, he had already informed the principal of the academy and had even repaired the roof for the academy. He thought that the matter was absolutely a sure thing. He never thought that the principal of the girls' academy would be so short-sighted and would demolish his own bridges after crossing them, not only causing his daughter to lose face.

This matter was really abominable. He wanted to cause some trouble, but the headmaster was a powerful figure whom he could not afford to offend. Moreover, after Zhuang Qinglan made a scene that day, people outside all pointed fingers at him as the prefect, saying that he did not teach his daughter well and was domineering in his daily life, which was why Zhuang Qinglan behaved like this.

Zhuang Qisheng was not afraid of what ordinary people said, but many of the students in the girls' academy came from well-off families, including daughters of officials. If the rumors spread too much, it would be detrimental to his career, so he could only suppress his anger.

As for the Princess Hening, Zhuang Qisheng felt even more helpless as he failed to get it for Zhuang Qinglan.

Now that Chu Jinnian has spoken, how could he dare to do anything bad?

Zhuang Qisheng still knows clearly whether wealth and glory or life and property are more important.

However, Zhuang Qisheng did not tell Zhuang Qinglan the details of the reasons behind this. It was no wonder that Zhuang Qinglan now complained that he could not do everything well.

"These things happen for their own reasons and there's nothing we can do about it." Zhuang Qisheng gritted his teeth and explained.

"What other reason could there be? It's just that Dad doesn't want to do it." Zhuang Qinglan's tears fell, "Dad just doesn't want me to be the county lord, so he found many excuses to fool me."

"I don't care, I just want to be the county lord, Dad, go find a way for me!"

Zhuang Qisheng frowned, feeling irritated. "Nonsense, you can become the county lord just because you want to? The emperor has issued an imperial decree, how can you snatch it away?"

"What's so difficult about this? Father just needs to submit a memorial saying that Zhuang Qingning is a big liar and that the waterwheel was not built by her but by me. Then he can ask the emperor to confer the title of county princess on me, isn't that all?" Zhuang Qinglan shouted.

"If Dad doesn't want to do this, then I will do it. I will find someone to tie up that peasant and beat her until she will give me the credit."

Zhuang Qisheng's irritation was immediately written on his face.

If the whole thing could be so simple, why would he have worked so hard for so many years to finally get the position of prefect? ​​Speaking of which, he was not a stupid person at all, and could even be considered a very smart person. How could he have given birth to such a stupid daughter?

Zhuang Qisheng no longer had the patience to coax Zhuang Qinglan, and just shouted, "If you still want to save your life, don't even think of any crooked ideas!"

"There are more than one pair of eyes watching this matter, and each of them is someone you can't afford to offend. If you dare to act rashly and provoke the people above you, I won't be able to save your life in the future!"

After saying that, Zhuang Qisheng didn’t bother to explain to Zhuang Qinglan. He just put his hands behind his back and left angrily.

Zhuang Qinglan was left in the room, crying bitterly again.

The crying was louder and more hoarse than before. Even though Zhuang Qisheng was two yards away, he could still hear it vaguely.

Children are here to collect debts! Zhuang Qisheng was upset and threw a teacup beside him.

The servant next to him rushed to clean up in fear and swept away all the broken porcelain pieces.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Master, where have you been?" Zhuang Qisheng asked, "I haven't seen him for several days."

"I heard that the young master went to Ying County." The servant answered truthfully.

"What are you going to do in Ying County?"

If he remembered correctly, a long time ago, Zhuang Lianghong suddenly broke his arm, and even the servants around him were all injured, some with broken arms and some with broken legs. The reason seemed to be that when Zhuang Lianghong was in Ying County, he fell in love with a girl, and before he could say a few words, he was beaten and injured. He had to recuperate at home for a long time before he recovered.

But just a few days after the incident, he was going to Ying County again. I guess he was going to settle accounts with someone.

Zhuang Qisheng figured this out and spat in anger, "All of you just know how to stir up trouble everywhere!"

"How many men did he bring with him this time?"

He couldn't bear to watch it any longer, but Zhuang Lianghong was his biological son, and he was still worried that Zhuang Lianghong would suffer again.

"Don't worry, sir. The young master has brought more than 20 people with him this time. He will definitely not suffer any loss." The servant replied.

"That's good." Zhuang Qisheng nodded.

Besides, he is the prefect after all. Zhuang Lianghong is of noble status. It is a blessing for a girl that he can fall in love with her. But the girl is so ungrateful. It is only right to teach her a lesson after finding him.

"Master, that lady..."
